2360 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Aug 2017 The latest paint job. Tremclad semi gloss white, painted with roller, made a tarp from camo cloth, coated with a clear polyeurathane and couple of pin stripes, red and yellow.
Zambeezy Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Looking sharp! Did you do it yourself or take it somewhere?
Pete M Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 lookin' good! :) what's the framework of the topper made of?
2360 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Posted August 30, 2017 Yes, I did it myself. I framed up a wooden......frame with 2 x 4's and 1 x 4's. Bought the cloth at Hahn's military surplus in Vegas. Took two 3 yard pieces sewed them together to get the necessary width used a length of para cord at each end tied it off under the truck. On each side has 5 tie downs to hold in place. Thinned the paint down a bit to help it along. The truck was black before so took 3 coats to make look half decent. Bought some red reflective tape 3/4" wide and cut it down to about a 1/8", the fluorescent yellow was painted on by hand. Et voila!
